However, a new Center for Immigration Studies report suggests that President Donald Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border could save Americans nearly $64 billion over the next 10 years if it stops half of all expected undocumented immigrants.

$64 billion! Saved for the U.S taxpayer

Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, said an existing body of research estimates the fiscal impact of undocumented immigrants based on their education level, which officials can typically pinpoint.

“Once you know the education level of illegal immigrants, you plug it in and you can come up with an estimate,” Camarota said.

Casone noted that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has also received criticism for its recent raids rounding up undocumented immigrants, most of whom have criminal histories. Camarota said he believes this criticism is unwarranted.

Reports of ICE checkpoints, indiscriminate “raids” & sweeps in cities such as San Francisco and Atlanta are false, dangerous & irresponsible
